Why is dumbing down doctrine dangerous?

Reducing the depth of doctrine inhibits the ability of believers to fully grasp the richness of their faith, potentially leading to a distorted view of salvation and the Christian life. As Dr. Ella points out, neglecting vital theological truths results in a gospel devoid of its authoritative weight, leaving congregants ill-prepared to face the challenges of faith (2 Timothy 4:3-4). This not only undermines personal growth and discipleship but also hampers the church's mission to evangelize effectively. Without sound doctrine, the church risks losing her identity, leading to a Christianity that lacks both depth and power.
